Stipulated Judgment ¶52 — FC §4065 Stipulated Guideline Acknowledgment
Source: Stipulated Judgment, FL-180 Attachment, IRMO Nibley Case No. 20FL010940C, entered June 17, 2022.
Summary
The parties’ verbatim acknowledgments under FC §4065 — that they were fully informed of their guideline rights, the stipulated amount was agreed to without coercion or duress, the stipulated amount is in the children’s best interests and meets their needs, and that the right to support has not been assigned to the county under W&I § 11477.
When to use
The §4065 framework is the foundation for any non-guideline stipulated support order. ¶52 is the explicit statement of the §4065 prerequisites the court must find before approving a non-guideline stipulation. Relevant to (a) the original 2022 baseline, and (b) any future stipulated modification — both require the same §4065 acknowledgments.
Paragraph text (verbatim)

The parties acknowledge they are fully informed of their rights pursuant to the California Statewide Uniform Child Support Guideline and this stipulated amount is being agreed to without coercion or duress. The parties declare the stipulated amount is in the best interests of each minor child and each minor child’s needs will be adequately met by the stipulated amount. The right to support has not been assigned to the county pursuant to § 11477 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. [Family Code § 4065].
Scope / notes
- §4065(a) elements: informed, no coercion/duress, best interests, adequate, no assignment.
- A stipulation that does not check all four elements is unenforceable as a §4065 deviation.
